Yuanfei sighed inwardly.
The "Space Inversion" technique was weakest when it was first unleashed, and he hadn't expected his opponent to seize that precise moment.
However, this was his only supernatural ability that could suppress the opponent, and Yuanfei was unwilling to give up so easily.
Yet, after casting it several times in succession,
Wang Luo had managed to dodge every single one.
Helpless, Yuanfei could only resort to wielding his iron staff and engaging in a head-on clash with his opponent.
Divine might and dragon's might clashed,
Thunder and lightning collided ceaselessly, rattling Bai Long's ears from afar!
[This is terrifying. Not only can Wang Luo hold his ground against that monkey-headed brute, but he can also fight it without being at a disadvantage!]
Bai Long knew that he himself wouldn't even be able to stand steady in front of that monkey-headed creature.
[However, Wang Luo must still have some trump cards up his sleeve. His most powerful supernatural ability should be transformation into a dragon, and he also hasn't used that wooden puppet-like form!]
Bai Long was somewhat puzzled.
Why wasn't Wang Luo using those abilities?
Truth be told, Wang Luo wanted to!
But he didn't possess the ability to completely suppress an SSS-rank space ability user.
From the monkey-headed creature's shocked expression upon seeing his double SSS-rank abilities earlier, Wang Luo dared not reveal any more of his powers!
In fact, if he hadn't been previously bound by its "Space Inversion," he wouldn't have even wanted to use his Azure Dragon ability.
Wang Luo didn't know precisely when the two realms would connect,
But if that time truly came, he worried that exposing too much might invite a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Sometimes, "keeping a hand in reserve" was the safer choice!
Therefore, he was only using his lightning and wind abilities at this moment.
As for his Azure Dragon ability,
Wang Luo, based on the monkey-headed creature's reaction and his own experience, guessed that the opponent likely mistook him for some kind of exotic beast. After all, among all supernatural abilities, none allowed a human to transform into an animal!
The battle between the two sides continued for a long time,
The surrounding mountains had been completely destroyed, reduced to ruins!
Yuanfei became increasingly shocked as the fight went on.
What exactly was this form of his opponent? kanshu5.xa
Why couldn't he defeat him even with the amplification of the divine phantom?
Under the divine phantom,
He was akin to a demigod, yet what sort of demon was this opponent?
"What kind of exotic beast, upon semi-transformation, would exhibit this form?"
Yuanfei racked his brains, but no memory came to mind!
His father was a true deity,
And his clan had a long lineage with extensive records of various exotic beasts. Yet, he genuinely had never encountered any race described as looking like this!
"Could it be that long-lost race from the annals of time?"
"But that shouldn't be it! Even if such a race existed, it should be in the vast underground world, not on the surface world, which is devoid of resources and divine substances!"
As Yuanfei was pondering,
Wang Luo suddenly appeared before him, unleashing a punch with a dragon claw wrapped in purple lightning.
The former was startled and instinctively phased into the void, but it was a step too late. He was squarely hit in the chest by the opponent's blow.
Yuanfei felt an intense tremor in his internal organs, his blood churning, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood!
"If I didn't know better, I'd think this guy had awakened a body-strengthening ability!"
Yuanfei panted rapidly, took a few deep breaths,
And roared, waving his large hand. Several spatial slashes lunged towards Wang Luo from the front, back, left, and right, while he himself surged forward.
Wang Luo swung his fist, striking back.
A deafening collision ensued.
Fist met iron staff once more. Seeing his attack ineffective, Yuanfei vanished from his spot again, followed by several invisible slashes that attacked once more...
Attacks came from unexpected directions,
Facing these unseen slashes,
Wang Luo often had no choice but to endure them with his own body!
It had to be said,
Under the amplification of the divine phantom,
The opponent's attack power was outrageously high. Even with his half-dragon physique, he felt intense pain with every blow.
At this moment, the battle between the two sides had reached a stalemate, with neither able to gain the upper hand.
But Yuanfei was growing anxious,
Because there was still a space ability user, a silver horse, not far away!
In his prime, he wouldn't have paid the horse any mind, but once the divine phantom dissipated, his own condition would inevitably decline. If that horse then pursued him relentlessly, he would eventually be worn down!
"I admit you are strong, but I have pressing matters today. If you have the guts, leave your name, and we shall fight again another day!"
Yuanfei retreated a step,
His body concealed within the void, only his head remaining visible as he shouted at Wang Luo.
By now, both parties were wounded,
But Wang Luo attacked with all his might in every exchange, displaying a ferocious tenacity that made Yuanfei's life miserable!
"Monkey, don't run, let's continue our battle for another three hundred rounds!"
Wang Luo's body pulsed with lightning, standing there like a god of thunder.
Yuanfei snorted coldly.
If not for the concern of the opponent's helper, he would have fought Wang Luo to the death!
"Next time we meet, I shall take your head!"
Yuanfei's voice echoed, but his figure had already vanished.
"Bai Long, follow him! Don't let him escape!"
Wang Luo swiftly darted onto Bai Long's back, unwilling to let the monkey-headed creature get away.
In the void,
Yuanfei saw this and dared not linger, quickly using his spatial ability to disappear before the divine phantom dissipated.
By the time Bai Long carried Wang Luo into the void, the opponent's trace was gone.
"Let's go, quickly! Find a quiet place to rest!"
Wang Luo whispered to Bai Long.
The reason he had appeared so strong just now was merely to scare off the monkey. In reality, his own condition wasn't great either!
Having taken so many hits from the monkey, he was in immense pain, feeling as if he were being pricked by needles.
Even if the monkey hadn't left,
It was likely that he himself would have needed to find a way to escape soon.
Bai Long sensed the urgency in Wang Luo's tone and immediately phased through the void, vanishing from the spot.
...
In a distant mountain range, far from the battle site,
Wang Luo stretched, feeling a sense of relief throughout his body.
He had rested here for half a month, and the injuries sustained from the battle had fully healed, thanks to his wood-element healing ability, which allowed for rapid recovery.
"How should I use that natural treasure?"
Wang Luo mused, stroking his chin.
He hadn't taken the plant out, fearing it might attract some exotic beasts.
After all, it had drawn creatures like giant pythons from afar, leading them to compete for it.
"Then, I'll eat it first!"
Wang Luo used large rocks to completely seal the cave he was in, leaving no escape route for air.
He then took out the plant, plucked the ripe purple flower from it, and put it into his mouth.
Even at such close proximity, he couldn't detect any peculiar scent from this natural treasure. This made Wang Luo more convinced that those exotic beasts from underground possessed some special means to detect such items!
